The place made us (me + wife) felt like we have been transported back to the bygone era. Only about 15km from Sukhumvit area, our journey at the peak hour took almost slightly more than an hour to get there. Once we reached the place, Joe's mum was waiting and took us to the house for a quick orientation. Immediately we were awed with the resort like exterior and the retro interior. Everything in the house is interesting, it is like a mini museum. Right outside the balcony, is the waterway of Venice of the East. The surrounding houses are occupied by locals and you'll be amazed with the activities that took place around the canals. Despite the tranquility the BangLuang House provided, a 7 Eleven store and ATM machine are just about 25 steps away. Joe's mum also runs a souveniers' shop and my wife went for a shopping frenzy. Going back again? Definitely.
